#assassination
1 messages ยท Page 3278 of 1
i pugged a 15 siege last night with some 1300 io players... ele sham and demo lock. I literally did almost more damage than both of them combined, 35k dps vs their 18/19k. Their logic was that they both went complete ST spec because its a 15 tyrannical key, and only did 2-3k boss damage more than me.. which saved at MOST 15-25 seconds per boss and this is being modest..
meanwhile the rest of the dungeon felt like a fortified dungeon because each pack took forever to die due to their low aoe
Hello, i have one question , when are we running MA (when we dont have any garrote trait in raid or?) and on wich bosses is it good pure ST or ?
like there must be some type of compromise between st/aoe for tyrannical
yeah literally every dungeon
but tbh i might go outlaw next week depending on what my azerite vendor gives me 
was outlaw startof dazalor before the super craze of it, raided as it abit aswell. then i just had a week of reforging , and i cbad and sticked to assa ,.L so ye, if the game would give me loot in mythic so i can play more then 1 spec would be great cause i aint paying some 35k fee again
Sounds like a bad warlock
idk why they cant just make the price go up and let it cap at like 5k
actually gonna sim my gear atm, if im higher in outlaw, cya till i get daggers
remove that reforge shit and fix PL
and i pretty fine tbh, wont complain
or atleast bring back ML
sims say i do about the same single target as assassin but sure doesnt feel like it
for outlaw
where can i find the opener for MA?
epic thx
TTK>DD in dungeons right?
Is that how u really feel
TTK?
twist the knife
Ahh ok
Checked pins, also ravenhold. With 3DD and Master Assassin.. Ravenhold says use TB after vanish, I thought it was 5pt envenom after vanish. Does anyone have the proper rotation for 3DD MA ST?
they are pretty close, with 3 DD i prefer to tb before the vanish in order to be able to crit 2 mutilates & an envenom OR crit 1 mutilate and 2 envenoms in the window
Tb after vanish is more consistent from what dratnos keeps saying but itโs probably overall minor either way.
since a crit mut and DD will do more damage than a crit tb forsure at 3 dd
oh no guys
i see someone sitting near me that has ravenholdt discord on their computer
which one of u is it
Is the dungeon slice sim a good indication for M+?
Got a 405 haste>mastery belt and a 400 crit mastery, dunno what to use for M+
It showed assassination better than outlaw.. I'm not listening to it at all.
@spice surge i'm wtching your progress on sneg's stream :^)
:^)
Well, if you like padding reaping Outlaw is great I guess
sin can do just fine reaping dmg
3xEB in reaping is hella fun, finally got it and tried it last night, out bursting DHs is definitely new to me.
@primal gazelle ''galecallers hot trash for m+'' even with exsanguinate snapshot?
yes
i disagree
when you have galecaller's on you don't actually need any dots out to spam fok
i think it's alright
cant tell if youre trolling or not
Same @strange python, got lucky in an 8 and got a 390, was a big upgrade ๐
i'm literally 400+ in every slot except helm and daggers, 370 on helm, 375/340 on daggers
is your lootspec outlaw
This is a pretty good show case of Sin vs Outlaw ๐ฎ
nope
even the emissary quests would've given you 385 daggers
@primal gazelle did you have GC first week of bfa m0? the circle was so fucking small. lol
i have a hard time believing youve done that many keys without seeing a dagger drop, unless ur spamming motherloard or some shit
flawless died once during reaping there and lost alot of overall dmg, i could argue he wouldve done more overall dmg with HB over CT but who knows
and everything has been timed except shrine, which lol
TD seems best, howliss shiv is nice
Just get a 425 one from raid ๐
shrine dagger best for fok spam
so ive done 19 mythic + actually, all over 8+ lmfaoooo
my luck is just trash like my daggers
Sounds like you dont want a dagger badly enough
Id run some with you for a second chance, feel bad now ๐
@rawr if you dont believe me, check my io profile
cbf lol
within 3 days, i did 19
For every person with good luck, there's one with bad luck. Welcome to... the others
i can't complain tho lmfao. i did get 3x harlans b2b2b
just replaced my 375dagger been using since january. weaps are rare for some ppl
all my weps are raid drops. ayo
i think we're doing a heroic reclear tonight be4 mythic prog so ill just swap my main out for my rogue
maybe ill get lucky then
you guys still doin exsang for m+?
Same. Which makes sense from a probability perspective
not being main rogue 
personally, i have yet to try exsang. i heard it's nice
Boss loot table in raid is like 4ish. Loot table in m+ is bigger
true that
ye from what ive seen sin is relatively close to outlaw in m+ overall damage, its just outlaw is just like 1000x easier to gear for atm, but people are gettin proper gear sets at good ilvls now
and they are different specs
4head
sin brings similar amount of utility in different forms
sin silence ๐ฏ
silences/steps/slows vs on demand stuns/gouges/vanish utility
gouge is giga for dungeons like motherlode tho
where you have a lot of stuff that has to be kicked one way or another
i do value vanish to cheese boss mechanics at a higher rate with outlaw a lil more but yeah i think the final choice will fall to what your group needs if u have a stablle one
i'm building a sub set right now
never sub though, just....no
tbh
i think it's still the way to time high shrine keys
maybe if they buff replicating shadows by idk, 4000%
and high siege keys
i can see it being viable then
replicating is not the way to fix sub that trait doodoo
rise from last to seccond last place OMEGALUL
until i get 3 ttk like seli i think
but you can for m+ ๐ (while playing sin)
FeelsBadMan ๐ซ
id run with outlaw till i got daggers but seems like outlaw is only simming like 600 above sin atm
idk if that's justifiable to switch yet
wot
the shitty part about sub is that its best aoe talent/ completely fucks your dmg lol
wait what's the meme
no, but you can use bis sub shoulders for m+ in assassination spec so you essentially use sub gear
@round harbor i think running sectec is a critical error in dungeons tho
llike it's the opposite of what you play sub for
which is to funnel damage into an elite right?
not spread it out
1x rs is fine i guess
bin outlaw, overbuff sub, and leave sin alone. the blizzard solution
is the no SS trait opener for sf even good?
then sin outscales sub anyway ๐
Only one garrote, even tho you can do two since you have sf?
my mentality is the opposite, raiding is a source of gear for m+ ๐ค
so if im gonna sim exsang vs tb for m+ is dungeon slice even useful for that?
raiding is the best source of gear for m+
i mean i agree with dad that certain affixes/trait combinations can make subtlety good
so thats not a meme
and in case blizz wants to make another zul we might be good in the raid
i wish i had a sub set for the bolstering week :x
i mena champions could be considered a zul-ish fight
envenom funnels is enough for bolstering
I wish blizz would make another Zul boss - such a fun fight for sub!
When I roll rogue - I envision a button smashing tunneling dps playstyle
When I roll rogue I envision having a lot of control over every fight :x
bring back agonizing poison ๐ i loved having an excuse to tunnel
@golden relic i ran like 43% mastery. crit cycles between 36-40% depending on mekkatorque stage
@primal gazelle nah, we dont log m+
43, thats fuckin huge
Those r some chunky dots
do u have like all crit mastery only majority of the gear or what
pmuch, only non crit/mastery items i have are opu MH and waycrest crit/vers/socket ring
vers is nice too
jesus fuck thats obscene
got a handful of haste items due to sockets and i kinda wanna run close to 10% haste
seli what is the actual crit value
I got shit ton of vers and haste, like 2 mastery items , big yikes
highest i can get unbuffed is 1850ish
but im pretty much locked into that cause daggers are non crit
since you need ~11-12% haste to continuously spam 35energy GCDs with 4ruptures
im 9% haste atm in my gear, 27% mastery and 37% crit, id maybe drop some crit and use gigavolt instead but I was saying earlier idk , if it would be worth, probably
guys i did a top 3 nhc log at stormwall! YAY, thanks for your help today
~11% haste gives you around 20seconds of being able to spam 35/energy sec finishers until you run dry, at which point youre using a few 25energy ones to refresh the ruptures anyway, basically giving you full sustain
what if you just rupture a 5th mob
Then you do less envenoms
well, thats always an option, but not really worth#
its less envenoms or less foks
id prefer to minimize the amount of GCDs and CPs spent on finishers that are only for energy sustain
why dont you log m+ btw
but yeah, i could run like 3% more crit and less mastery if i swapped mastery sockets to crit
id like to compare numbers
no point
how much haste would you need for just 3 ruptures would you say
cuz right now i'm way overindexed into haste
didnt calculate that, since its not worth the calc. the amount of haste needed would be way too high for a setting where we want to minimize useless stats on gear
not sure if eleem did the numbers on 3 ruptures
Like 32.6% Seli
ye, i think it was something like 30% haste for 3ruptures
honestly, the aoe gameplay is debatable, i just like the ST feel of playing so much around TB
i have more fun being a filthy padder
just feels nice to have little phases of burst every 25-30seconds where you can dish out 60k crits
anyone tried doing ruby as assa on opulence? Been assigned to do it for our reclear and i dont have weapons for outlaw
sin is fine for ruby
your main-duty is to keep the debuff stacking, so if youre noticing your energy dropping, use poisoned knife instead of mutilate to keep it rolling
ah good tip
otherwise you might run the risk of it dropping off
yea thats what i was thinking
and communicate to the other ruby players when you have liquid gold and have to run out
if the ruby buff drops, youre wiping
so thats just your highest prio
it has 1sec inner CD of application and 2sec duration, so rogue is kinda nice for it since just a regular gcd-locked rotation would ensure it never drops
Does double dose dmg get increased with toxic blade up?
Thanks
Very true about communication on pppulence
Last night I had to scream to our boomy that the other two people with Ruby were liquid Golding. Boomy adjusted and just moonfire spammed or something like that to keep buff up
Your DMG without opal is largely not important since the boss will fall over like 10 seconds after the third set of adds dies
Spawns rather
you get a third set? ๐
but yeah, once you pop bloodlust at like 80 ruby stacks and rotate the topaz people into the raid for nigh 100% uptime, the boss absolutely melts
I can never tell when to vendetta
Like holding it feels wrong, but idk might be worth
With opal
got rank 6 last week and we killed it as my vendetta came back off of cd feelsbadman
so i def know what u mean
I think highest ranking is like 40ish for me on oppu
so refresh bleeds, drop vendetta, get everything going and then wait for adds
tb right before add spawn, and at that point topaz comes in and you just fok envenom 4times into your TB
might actually be worth to mut envenom and not care about the 4cp envenoms instead of 5 for more
idk what worked for me was putting 3 ruptures up on adds then popping it, but thats probably because our adds were up for quite a bit longer than most guilds
Is it normal to just leave topaz out until that lust moment then rotate or just rotate them as they come up?
Why is plumage so good?
lines up with vendetta, duration lines up with vendetta, we dont run any vers baseline so the vers on use is pretty much maximum efficiency
He basically just said use it with vend. So yes
god bless rng, howlis dagger 420 socketed 
Ayyyy. Gratz my dude
one of these days I'm gonna get opal ๐ฆ
invocation that dogshitty? sims like 390 plumage...
opal unless your guild wants you to get the ruby
@jaunty crystal Tks !!
are we good for ruby ?
sin is honestly not the best ruby holder
but it's fine and if your raid leader wants you to pick it up then you pick it up ๐
we also happen to be one of the worst opal holders ๐
yea lol
1sec gcd is pretty nice for maintaining opal tbh, ideally youd want higher apm classes but we can just use poisoned knife instead of muti if we run low on energy
and usually you have like 3-4rubies anyway
i honestly just ignore my dps anyway when i get ruby duty
like, who cares,you help other people, just keep the buff up
turn on dmg taken and laugh at other people that fuk stuff up instead
Yea. For sure better ruby classes, but most of those are also better opal classes... just bring bm hunters if you can find any lolol
honestly, i dont think assa is bad for ruby
we got a cheap spammable range attack when we have to carry stuff out
and its unlikely that we die to random shit, leaving the raid with 1 less ruby carry
Yea. Thats why ive been ruby duty. I dont die unless it's "we're gonna kill it. Go die to that coin shower"
and 1sec gcd makes the re-application quite a bit safer
And if you actually focus on the buff, its easy to keep up even with low apm class
ye
True dat. Didnt even think of the base gcd initially
like, we have 2 DHs carrying ruby and me
DHs sometimes are locked into beam for example, and only first hit applies ruby
Yea. Should be fine
so when they do their thing, its my job to keep it up
ye
since their pets dont scale with the other buffs
Fair. I wouldnt know since we have 1 hunter and he's pretty much a part time raider
Pets scale w opal now
oh okay
Hotfixed a week? Maybe 2 weeks? Ago
never payed attention since we only have 3 MMs
think we have 2 mages 2boomers
barely have any opals, cause theyre not really needed
Same same for ruby
Yea. Opal is given to the people who are more likely to die lol
I tried it on heroic thinking, oh, this'll be good with a quick kill. Was not impressed
And i feel like on mythic unless youre the luckiest of all ducks, you get frick'd cause of mechanics
Yea. It wasnt bad. I just, idk, was same same as opal basically
I think if we only got the 2 add phases (we're killing it with 3rd set just spawning or being up for 5-10 sec), then MAYBE we could get away with emerald. Idk. Ill just stick to ruby
Yea exactly. Makes the choice easy lol
i always take ruby as sin ๐
I know
why would i let anyone else take it when they gain more from opal ๐
be unselfish and help ur friends ok..
im not a chad bro..
Hello no
But.. if they were really friends wouldnt they wanna help you get dat big boi parse?
Lolol

Chad chaddington
im just a roleplayer bro
Chaddington bear
I'm going to sim it later; but if i dont have any SS traits its highly likely i should be testing Subt vs MA right?
if you dont have any SS traits subt is unlikely to sim better
why do people always say that
i have 0 ss traits for months now
MA sims 0,2%better
soooo I just rolled my 3rd EB/SS piece. got 3 of them in 415 now. lets see what assassination can do eh
with pretty much all setups
If I use Envenom two times in a row, will buff from second Envenom add duration to first or overwrite it?
yeah subtrfuge hasnt been relevant in my sims for a few months now
i also dont think its relevant in this raid either ๐
try too use the 2nd envenom when the buff is about too run out
eh, some fights its better then MA imo
@nimble tartan careful. The SS truthers are gonna attack you
but my opinion is biased anyway cus my luck with MA is legendary bad
no, but even 2 its not worth lose too much
ah fair
so take it with a grain of salt
i dont think anyboss is a subter boss prob only rastakhan
but that boss a MEME
its an MA TIER BABY
Ok, thanks. If using Elaborate Planning, should I use Env when EP buff runs out or when Env buff runs out?
Even if you care about the add damage at the beginning then you'd just go outlaw lol
if you want to minmax around that, i'd assume when EP runs out
dude
but you'll starve energy doing that quickly
its not really worth it playing around EP/Env buff "uptimes"
It feels bad cause my traits are pretty ok for raid and just garbo for M+ - which is why i rolled rogue in the first place lol
Cant afford multiple sets yet
unless ur in vend/tb window
super unlucky with drops
dont talk to me about unlucky with drops pls
If it does not worth it, when should I use env? ๐
I'll cry with u karhoot
22 m+ 9+ without a dagger or weapon period
THe best way env usage was ever explained to me was to stop thinking about "when should i" and instead think "why should i"
Yes, but both IcyVeins and Ravenholdt do not detail Env usage
^
To get more damage, obviously ๐
so basically, you use envenom as you normally would, don't spam it, you want to be able to get off 2-3 envenoms during toxic blade
Right but if you dont have TB /vendetta up
if you dont have it up, ur pooling for the next tb window, as it's only a 25 sec cd
getting an envenom out and then being choked on enrgy while building CP is roughly == to pooling energy at 4-5cps
Yeah ideally you're trying to maintain as much ep uptime as possible
pooling > uptime on env buff imo
but eventually your energy stops you from keeping 100%
Only time to spam would be lust while tb is up or something
yep
Ok, got it, thanks! So I shoud pool to TB, not play around EP
i would start there yeah
Like my oepener with gale and lust and vendetta with np is stupid amonts of energy
the whole thing is managing energy to dump envs in tb window
exactly
dont let bleeds fall off
or ur screwed
v true :^(
paint will dry faster than u regain energy if that happens
also v true :^(
!wa

https://wago.io/ByzCxPq-m (Devlin's Group)
Ok, so priorities: pool energy for TB, then if it is pooled, play for EP uptime?
At what point does MA/TB actually overtake Subt/Exsang in sims? It's still lagging behind by 2% for me.
At 406 ilvl.
If you're using shitty SS traits then never
Depends on traits. MA won't overtake if you have any SS traits
But at some point you shouldnt be running multiple SS for ST
He said subterfuge+exsang
I have 2x DD, 1 NP, 3x SS.
Exsang isnt really relevant now
im talking about the people early eleem, not you
that all said that MA is soooooo much better
hangon
guys if you play 3x EB which t100 talent would you choose?
Ace up your sleeve = ass im armel in german?
Posion bomb or hb depending on crit rating
its literally translated word for word lol
I've been running PB cause im stuck on TB for as long as i have 2 mandatory DD's
playing with 27.4% crit
I'm just bein a 3 yearold with the word ass :^)
could get a lot more i think
Probly better off just playing pbomb in dungeons until you do some testing on your gear to see if hb pulls ahead
I see. Also: toxic blade? I am using 3 traits for aoe only, so picking tb for more st would be worth it?
so sin is no more CT in m+?
this only applies if you use 3 echoing blades traits
You can CT successfully
I personally don't think it's worth unless mongo pulling but that's my 2cents
I think flawless still runs it a little bit
Sure you can run CT with stuff like scent and 3x Eb, but at that point your damage profile is so similar to outlaw, and probably slightly worse
So there just isnt much point
Does NP snapshot haste? like should i make sure to Galecaller's Boon before vendetta?
never heard anyone talk about it so Id assume it doesnt
how big of a problem is over capping energy in your opener
i've got so much haste atm
saving galecallers for my second toxic blade because i'm over capping so much if i pop it with vendetta
Dont save GCB. Haste boosts your dots too
You shouldnt be capping that badly in opener
How much haste?
@wide delta i feel your pain brotha i got the same fucking shoulders T.T
sub
"i want to play a class that does suboptimal damage, but i also want to be severely punished if i so much as need to scratch my face and all my windows are fucked
WRONG HELMET
no ttk ๐ฆ
no bis helmet this week
why are people taking ttk in m+ it is not god
ttk?
because if youre going full aoe on assa, you could just play outlaw instead
ttk gives you meaningful priority target damage, coupled with decent singletarget due to running tb+pb
twist the knife
yeah except outlaw is boring as all fuck
i hate ttk
shun the nonbeliever ๐ฆ
^^
your name literally has "poison" in it and yet you deny your lord and savior, a poison trait
@nimble tartan not rly wrong helmet. in my opinion bis this weak
i have bis azerite except my shoulders are SS BI which is kinda nice as my crit is a tidbit low
Believe
ttk shrouded helmet?
๐
dafuq
PPL ACCTUALLY STILL BEING PEASENTS TO SHROUDED TILTS ME
SAME WITH RAID SETUP
LEAVE IT IN THE PAST
I mean, theres obviously a place for the SS/EB build in trash heavy dungeons that dont require a lot of prio damage, but I strongly feel that the TTK build is the go-to build for assa in m+ due to its niche
non believers
u dont play shrouded anymore?
every class can do decent or strong aoe, few classes/specs can do good prio damage
https://gyazo.com/f2109f9b19ca2f591eaf6d2aa67b2c20 I got heroic rastakhan shoulders
maybe mythic tommorow . no opulence head though , got a 375 one and this meme head
u rly think eb ttk can be meta?
I mean look at the top assa rogues in m+ on RIO
i mean, im playing it right now, its good damage
and gives you the flexibilityto swap between prio damage and aoe damage whenever you want
1ss 2eb 3ttk? or 1ss 3eb 2 ttk?
most of them are using TTK, i think grim is the only one not using it cuz hes running the SSxEBx3 meme
with CT
i run 2eb/3ttk rn, 3eb is overkill honestly
dog morningwind?
Yeah I think 2eb is all good
morning wood?
I was having with 2x EB, ss, np this week was doing some fun boss damage
U think using a 375 opulence head over a EB 415 head is worth seli
its just nice to look at the damage distribution and have envneom be on par with garrote/fok
i mean its 45 ilvls but the traits are useless
SS is overrated
Need them rasta shoulders. Yeah ss is just quality of life I think
unless its something like temple or kingsrest, where you usually only pull 3-4 trashmobs at a time anyway
so you actually save time by popping the garrotes on 3 targets and then prio the 4th so they die at the same time
but usually you pull like 10+ mobs, having garrote up on 3 of them that ticks hard and kills them faster than the rest doesnt actually make the pull go faster
you still gotta clean up the other 7
On a 5+ pack how are opening @marble hemlock spread in 3 garrote and 2 or 3 rupture then fork and envenom spam?
ye
3garrote+2rupture
once garrotes run out, 4rupture for energy sustain
if i have vendetta, i do 3g+1r instead, since the vendetta energy will keep sustain high enough for the first stage of the aoe gameplay
and then transition into 4r maintenance
100%
definitely a good move to put azerite onto every boss
and with generally really good traits
im still convinced that blizzard purposefully starts out core-features like azerite in a super shitty state, despite already knowing how to improve them, but then slowly bring those improvements into the game to get players to return after a few months
do u play tb than instead exsanguinate with ttk ?
i mean, azerite more or less does wath it is supposed too do
man ima just make another engi head
and with 2 ss still and 1 ttk i play exsang than or?
drop a SS and use TTK engi head
And then it falls into removing things, players leave, give the same things back, people return feeling that there's incentive, when actually they didn't have to create any new features at all
it gives you some individual choices/changes, but not as big as legendarys
2xTTK, 2xSS, 2xEB. Exang+ PB for M+? Correct?
did they nerf barrage of bombs
and lets be honest, legendarys where a huge steaming pile of crap......
i dnt remember if they did
TTK = Treacherous cov?
twist the knife
oh
https://prnt.sc/mr379k than engineering helmet instead of shrouded tc?
for real?
i dont think the engi is that bad of a replacement
legendaries were in the a similar state, where the initial release was horrible, and they slowly improved both their effects and their availablity and end-of-legion legendaries were a great asset that were being used by many people
if u lack ttk
just have one
its a decent replacement
meh, most legendarys where boring as hell too
i have than 2 ttk, 2 eb, 1 ss and the engineering proc
azerite is in a decent state right now, although im not a big fan of the heavy primary-stat budget they carry and how they scale with ilvl
and the worst part where classes that NEEDED legendarys too be actually playable
spriest and the waist as an example
having 500dps increase from a 400 to 415 ilvl azerite is stupid, seeing how other slots with the same ilvl increase usually provide ~100-150dps instead
do i play exsang or tb if i just have one ss?
most of us raid mythic so we have access to plenty of 415 ilvl azerites, but a lot of people dont and they will always be behind by a significant amount simply due to 15ilvl lower azerite
if you wanna play around TTK, you play TB
plain and simple
doenst matter if you have 3 ss/1ttk, or 3ttk/1ss
is it bad when i say that people that dont do the hard content dont need/deserve the minmax azerite stuff anyway?
the idea is to pump envenoms into a priority target, and having a 25sec CD that improves that by 30% is huge
well, one of the mainreasons i still raid mythic is because of azerite
if i had other opportunities besides a bi-weekly gamble, i most likely wouldnt raid because both raidtiers in BfA have been godawful
bod is a piss-easy raid with the most annoying final boss ever, and that includes kiljaeden
https://gyazo.com/07b87885cf2579baa1f6c21c8576ee37 messing around with some gems and gear for my m+ gear
this feels like a nice even lvl
this is without gigavolt
How come this Cephaloide Jacket sim higher than the Mekka Bomber Jacket with NP+DD ?
Overwhelming power too stronk or ?
OP sims as well as it does as it has a very high uptime in the simulation last I checked, odds are you are going to lose uptime far more than the SIM will.
Hmm, interesting
It's still very good, but not so good.
@quiet crescent I know you replied like an hour ago but only just checked lol
i have 20.5% haste
I hit max energy twice in my opener
feel like that shouldn't happen
20.81* so goes up to over 40 when i pop gale
Like the guy above said. Use it on opener, try smashing your buttons harder ๐คฃ
Is there any video or reading source that can help me improve my opener and rotation? im struggling to get 90+ logs, i feel like im missing something crucial.. wowanalyzer is no help at all in this matter
Raid kill speed matters. Strats matter. Tank movement.
But yeah. Rotation matters as well.
Yea I understand that, I started with 20-40 logs and as I learned the bosses I moved up to about 80+ but im trying to find some sources as I dont really know what I can do more at this point now that I know the fights pretty much in and out ^^
Post a log of a st boss like grong and people can dig through it.
What kind of overall are you guys seeing as sin in m+?
@marble hemlock hey how is that TTK build working out in m+ so far?
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/dL4AjGMh1zVvyBqr#fight=1&type=damage-done , thats the log of my raid from before - we tried jaina with a smaller group and m+ is usually around 18-20k dps on solo bosses
!opener
๐ค
:^(
i just used the pins
First night with MA: I dont have to worry about empowered garrotes anymore right?
Unless you're using SS still for some reason
Otherwise yeah with MA no snapshotting
thanks :^) wish me luck; bursting ~80k
Im mostly trying to get used to how shitt pressing garrote feels
vanish garrote - x - garrote felt awesome.
Vanish - 3xDD MUT feels better > _>
I only got 2 dd :^(
POW POW!!
what if dd doesn't proc though?
2xdd, 2xnp, ttk, SoB :^(
pffffffffffft
2xdd 1xnp and covenant for me
soooo.......i got a good setup
thats wath i always say
im trying to get the most out of my 415 rolls
make MA 100%crit and i play it ffs
2xdd, 2xNP, 1 SS, 1 TTK
I think I am 3DD|2TC|1NP atm
i dont understand why its capped at 50%, it fells SO SHITY too use vanish just too get no crits
you basicly wasted a cd and gained nothing
and it happens so fking often for me
i dislike TC compared to uldir's equivlent whos name i cant remember xd
wars had something similar like that with Reck in MoP
but by the time soo came out their crit was naturally high enough so it didn't matter
im sitting at 80%crit with MA out of stealth
77 for me
without crit/spyglass procs
yeha, same for me
i take the 0,2%dps lost and play subterfuge, atleast i always get value out of vanish with it
i think when we get gear from the Azshara season, crit levels should be high enough for MA to be reliable basically all the time
i know an exact copy of the leggo shoulders would be too op as a talent, but MA just feels so bastardized
It should probably be 100% for 3 seconds but we're getting there from natural stat growth.
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
they could make it like next 3-4 abilities have 100% crit
removes crit bleeds from the equation
idk why it would be op....?
yeah, that's why i said next tier it will be alright
i mean, not like 50% bonus crit is more ''balanced''
it just makes the talent somewhat shity too take right now cus its not consistent
it's the risk vs reward factor
and who the hell knows, maybe the "revamped" azerite neck coming in 8.2 will give sin more passive crit
idk, risk vs reward stuff should go away into yahtzee pirate
and its not really risk cus you dont do something risky imo
the risk is not playing subt :^)
you're trading away a consistent stronger dot from the opener for a risk of having a very high damaging opener that will lead for more overall dps
and the averages show that MA wins.
good thing im not average, but bellow average
but, if you really don't like MA, you're not killing your raid by going subt
yeha,ik
people dont know shit about rogues lol
i know that i dont need too use it lol
(for me atleast sim wise) the difference is way too small too actually matter
do you guys even eat from feasts? i feel like seocndaries like 70 crit normally outwiegh 100 agi
:S
Can check your stat weights
Free
Pretty sure the 30 extra agility would make it up for most people
Plus free
theyre about the same, agility is dogshit on weights
Thats different for everyone
Should I stack 3 NP or 2 TC? Not sure if NP sims right.
maybe secondaries, not really for agility
I mean assuming we are talking about people in 400-415 ilvl range
and not like the difference are that big
and im pretty sure everyone in that ilvl range has either mastery or haste above 3
@rotund stone I'd go the 3 NP's, TC along with simming lower may not have 100% uptime
yeah the dot from NP is pretty dam strong
Would it be worth it to take a NP trait over a TC trait?
yes
yes, especially if you have no NP trait
Alright tthanks guys
why does this game hate me
sims on par with a 400 ilvl plumage
simmed my outlaw
1k loss on sims
with the proudmoore 2pc and a 415 MH
tbh i got some pretty shitty azerite for outlaw so that doesn't help
Whats the master assassin CD rotation after opener? I've been ensureing bleeds are up ->vendetta ->vanish ->Env (or TB depending on points) ->mut (or env if first was tb) -> env (or mut) is this big dumb?
Im thinking vendetta -> TB to 5cp-> vanish ->env ->mut -> env might be smarter
im just having trouble hitting my sim; down by like 9k unsure how big dumb i am;
looking for small ajdustments before log review lol
whenever i do play MA (which hasn't been often) i just naturally go to envenom mut envenom
too used to legion
TB windows are mediocre following vendetta
vendetta is vanish is to be synced at 2:20 ish. not staggered.
guy posted a jaina wipe. Im not looking at that.
but i found his best gronk
both trinkets suck, but thats going to be represented in the sim
ive got a new trinket though ^^
what does ss mean?
the shrouded garrote trait.
you are using Ss subterfuge TB.
check the guide for opener.
and the midblock vanish is still vanish gg.
until you swap to 3DD with MA/TB.
these TB windows are very dry.
ahhhhh okay, i will read the guide for sure
SIN GUIDE HERE--> http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/ FAQ IN PINS-->
midblock vanish / vanish gg what does that mean?
ahhhhhhh
thank you so much for your help, how can I check these openers ? sorry for noob question but i really have no idea
with warcraftlogs i take it ?
while we are looking at this good log., this is a TB window.
thats 4 mut. and 3 env lol
dd procs in TB are nice.
damn no wonder im doing so bad
tyvm
Chest off grong, has Scent for blood and bonded souls...is it good for rogues
er assassination
i have 20% haste and feel energy starved
That's normal, Assassination doesn't have infinite energy.

nice
Where does BiS belt come from for sin?
whatever titanforges to 425 and socketed
for weapon enchant i follow my highest two sims right?
for m+ shld i enchant crit/mast on weapon
asking bis in 2019 lul
do you guys use haste food or just the feast?
at higher ilvls haste stat priority is way higher than agi for me
so i just use haste
yeah my haste without food is 1118 (16%) so probably should use it
do you guys 3 garotes with shrouded and waste combo points on the third or 2 and rupture?
in what scenario
mythic plus
think triple garrote is almost always better
maybe if you only have 1 ss and some huge prio mob, but even then

https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/GLFdaQ47ZkxBW6hV/#boss=-2&difficulty=0&wipes=2 Opinions...or just to give u a laugh:( I know i did horrible, first time in there on heroic with them for progression:/ I know i wasn't good:/ But help would be nice on tatics or what u do for those fights
Can rogues soak coin shower with cheat death?
no
ty
im not playing sin anymore after this clip

he touched 500k for a split second
pulling reaping into pretty standard for a few bosses
we do it in TD, atal, siege, and havent tried it yet but plan on waycrest
surprised ur cowl with ds/tc isnt higher than that one
i would say that sims might be flawed there
in what way
So basically just hide awful ST dps under 20t cleave. Season 2 baby
@prisma crescent essentially Outlaw in a nutshell right there my friend
Does dead eyes spyglass work the same as eye of command, where it only incresses your crit against one target?
Equip:ย Your attacks have a chance to mark their targets as Dead Ahead.
Any who get the dead ahead proc would be affected
So if you're lucky, maybe more than one. More than likely itll be one target
thats not what hes asking ๐
you get crit for everything, but u obv need to hit the target it procced on to stack it
All good, i understand now
So worth using on multi target fights? not sure if its worth over galecaller's boon though. galecaller's sims just slightly better at the same ilvl
Who would bve the best streamer to watch for assassination guide?
Was looking for seli but I dont know the twitch link
seli is /incarnated
Question, why is gale force striking bad? Seems like 15% attack speed would be better than a secondary stat in theory. Is it just that the enchant is so much secondary?
@proven wasp dead-eye is pretty much bis on multi target (aka m+) cause u want as much crit as possible for echoing blades
i have it on all 3 azerite pieces
trying to get my damage up
sim says i should use 3 double dose over 3 shrouded
and i can barley maintain 13k in heroic Draz currently. i have to be doing something very wrong
how many wipes did people have on opulence before first kill? i'm starting to lose hope
it took us 3 pulls on herioc, that was our last kill on tuesday
Does echoing blade procs apply poison?
@grizzled 70+ pulls and 30 more to kill it a second time x)
why the hell did it take you 30 wipes on rekill :P?
30 wipes is alot more than 45min
@drifting cloud not even new people haha, but the same 3 to 5 people who fcked up in the first 70 tries decided to fck up on reclear aswell
Oh shit we Only got about 20tries in opu i am scared
Pretty sure most guilds dont spend as much time as we did on it, dont be scared :p
Well at least we just needed 10 for jadefire ๐
yeah the raid has a funny curve
we had more wipes on Opu than on conclave + rasta combined
but the gear in 1st-2nd reset helped alot on Opu, youd just do rooms 5-10s faster and skip 1-2 mechanics
does anyone know how sims model gigavolt offhand, or been using it for a while?
Ah well that gives me a good feeling about them ๐
We spent 4 resets in heroic.. Only two days raiding.. So missed some grong and jf kills
Got 61 wipes so far, last pull yesterday was a 1m wipe
can rogues cloak the roar on mythic grogn?
tantrum? ye
not sure why would you cloak the fear
oh, that roar
tantrum is the only thing you should cloak
Just got the Mekkatwerk trinket yesterday on mythic. When do i use it? just on CD whenever its at 6 stacks?
Yes
sick
And get the weak aura for it so its easy to follow
if things go sour during the fear, it's good to know if you can use cloak to save things or not
What weakaura i was looking for a good one
I always cloak tantrum so I dunno if it works, I always imagined it being a physical roar
i think tantrum is nature damage
oh 
my sentence got a little split up
Roar is physical damage
Tantrum (on alliance side) is shadow damage so that can be cloaked at least
and feint when you and cloak, healers will thank you sir
or be mad that they lose out on logs ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
can't heal ded ppl 
Just press buttons harder to do more healing 
Someone in my guild was like "oh Zas should take orb because he can feint all the AoE and cloak stuff" So i end up holding the orb for almost a minute all the time
rip energy 
my favorite thing about that fight is when i want to pool energy but then im 30% and not getting heals and there is a tantrum coming in so i have to feint and vial 
my favorite thing is always having to take an orb

we're basically farming him, make someone else do it once 
we started getting a range to grab orb, me and the other rogue are pumped ๐
I'm pumped for another week of no azerite drops 
continuing on progress for rasty will be fun at least
that's some good gambling
What's a legit high ilvl sin simulation looking like? 27k? Or not that high ?
no sin is 27k, dont think
I'd say anything near 25/26k is pretty up there
maybe like a bit over 26k
Damn. We are cucked I thought mine was just doodoo.
i'm 25,800
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/fpCesEbMfSbChREzuRPavf this is fine though
sin always outperforms our sims relative to other specs though
since we handle downtime so well
When I have SS and vendetta comes back up do i use it before my vanish Garrotes or after
such that your vanish garrote has as much uptime during vendetta as possile
you should vanish, get your two garrotes, then vendetta generally
Well does he do 28k? Correct me if I am wrong but.... Patchwerk as casters are allways alot higher than they are since they have to move? :s
So the damge is calcuated constantly?
yes vendetta is dynamic, not snapshot
yes
also, RE: demo, - they have a crazy good trait at the moment (the explosion potential one he has 3 of)
I understand why its OP.i run with a demo lock who regularly pulls 40k run dps
@rose perch A week or two ago you looked at my stormwall logs and mentioned i should use vanish w/ vendetta for the mega garrotes. One thing has been confusing me since then. Since vanish is used 16 or so seconds after vendetta in the opener, do i save vendetta when it comes up the second time around to line up with vanish?
yes
yes
@odd hatch Yes - the second set you delay vendetta and then every future one they line up nicely for you ๐
yes
Mm alright then yeah that makes a lot of sense. Ive always been worried about losing an endgame vendetta because of saving it. Guess thatโs why ive been holding
To think ive been making such a rookie mistake all this time ๐
yeah i think if you know for absolute 100% suresies you'd lose a vendetta then maybe you can do something different
but i never do that
just keep believing in yourself
Alright then, got it. Thanks all
Suresies
If I cast envenom, my dots arent going to fall off and Im not about to cap energy is it ok to not cast anything or should I always be spending
So I dont really need to worry about that 10% damage buff uptime?
After finishers I forget the name, Planning?
Elaborate planning
@full harbor wait with the envenom instead of waiting after it
Except if ur vendetta/TB window is about to expire obviously
other stuff is more important than worrying about EP uptime
Think of it as would you rather have that 10% buff with full energy for mutilates and envenoms + dots or for solely dots. Pooling vs starved
U want to use muti inside elaborated but usually it happens just like that
It's pretty automatic , pooling helps
Everything comes down to pooling so basically u want to wait a bit before using finisher to get some energy to follow up with muti
Only exception is in Toxic Blade window when u want to get as many envenoms as possible
I know pooling before TB is what you wanna do. But you mean you are "micro"pooling even before every Envenom? Or did I misunderstand now?
Yes
TB pooling 110-120
Envenom pooling? 40?
Dont know exact number but idea is to get 4-5cp in 5s with elaborated buff
As long as you are not capping energy and cp with dots up u are not losing dps
Ik ppl say you want to fit as many env in Tb as possible , but last I checked The APL gets 2 and many times even 1 evenom in the TB, so I dont thinks itโs as important as ppl make it seem
Any reccomendations for streamers/youtubers that play assassination? My guild almost has HC BfD on farm, but Iโm not hitting the best logs and not sure where Iโm falling down. Want to pick up some tips to see some purple/orange parses
@strange python you could post your logs here :)
For raid specifically or ?
@mighty elm I think it is more important than the sim says. Otherwise nobody would care. So I think it is a gain
To be honest, I know my M+ game could be stronger too, but mainly speaking about raids here yeah. Iโll try and get a link for logs.
@strange python I thought APL does the best possible rotation 
If you are doing your rotation right, good logs come from faster and smoother boss kills
@strange python https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/JNb7a3ZcrWkvCL4g/ this was last night. Died on a couple of bosses hence one or two are super low. Any advice and help from anyone is greatly appreciated.
(Im the rogue, obviously)
it does what you can actually do, not every TB window gets 3 envenom in reality
@strange python I am not the right person to look at your logs :) It was Only a suggetstion. Other in here have very Nice parses
I'm in a terrible guild just now starting mythic jade fire and I'm parsing 90 95s mostly. I'm gonna assume you aren't doing your rotation right @Dog
@strange python you should try using MA with those traits first of all
3xdd 2 x np an 1x tc , no need to run subterfuge
You're also triple mutilating
Hey guys. I'm also here to ask for somebody who's good enough to see in-depth logs problem and be good enough to let me ask him in PMs. And no, even if uptimes could be better this is prolly not the only reason I can't get any orange parses. It's super annoying me, another week, another fails. Anybody?
Hitting mutilate too many times on my opener and overlapping CP ?@solid nova
Overcapping *
Not just in your opener mate
Its throughout the fights
You're also not pairing your 2nd vend/vanish
And second pot seems to be used randomly at times
You've got some whacky openers on some fights too
Here are the logs https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/zmLkbGpt4x9BrKwq
I also have another problem whicu Idk how to stop. Sometimes I tend to redot during TB, because I wanna redot in pandenic window. So, how do I overcome this? If anybody is good enough to tell me what else they see (except uptime prolly), let me know.
Its better to refresh in TB, than let your dots drop off
Is it possible the reason of not having any SS traits and also baf trinkets overall, compared to most people be a reason fot me not being able to parse orange, as I just can't do more dmg? Like...the other rogue had some insane bursts, It looked like I was afk in the meanwhile.
If I had around 35-40k bursts at best, the guy prolly had around 60k
You're casting fan of knives a lot of fights such as conclave and jadefire. With 3x DD you should only cast fok on 5+ targets
You don't need SS traits to parse orange.
Unless you wanna cheese some secondary targets
But even then your setup should be enough
its just easier if you know the fight ss is good and so consistent
We did zerg on 1st boss mythic. Somehow two adds died anyway.... padding ... damn padding :P
I was thinking about something in the ravenholdt assa guide since we mostly say go read it lol
When I'm not using ss traits I can't pad on adds on first boss as I've got Ma, just gonna waste the whole opener. And I can't run down from boss to adds just to pad. I think I should switch 1dd for 1ss, as only mekka and jaina doesn't really have adds.
in the rotation section on cleave it says Rupture, if the target will live long enough
wheres the context to that
its so difused
There is literally nothing wrong with your setup aya
i mean its not best for prog but if you wana parse better be a speedy boi and pad them adds
well no good guild is gna look at champions and think "wow he did a good job rupturing those adds"
"wow he ran SS to pad"
XD
For example on conclave: Stop multidotting the bosses, stop using fan of knives and use a second pot
Hope your GM dont check out this Chanel then xD
I know a goos guild will check the log in-depth but still, when you see purple you are like, damn, he is not so good
Good guilds wants someone that is good with progress
dps isnt everything
you have logs you can link?
youre a rogue you have a lot of utility
Not with 100% logs on farm
purple is not that bad , now when u kno alot of ppl do pad, and dps isnt everything, theres so much more
and you may be put to do special tasks
@brisk aurora they are a bit above
I mean
@spice surge yeah well, I wasn't sure if it matters to multi dot bosses or stick to one, also, I highly doubt those things done woukd give me orange
thanks for the tips though
the other guy in your guild
Padding will give u higher parses
i mean off the bat other dudes gear is better rings are big and yours can be replaced
so like, sure he did more dps
just gotta grind it out
but in a scenario if u have to swap to adds like in mythic, if u only have HC logs t ogo off
it shows u are doing stuff properly
ppl value that
alot
No, he plays better than you
When I was looking for guild in the end or Uldir that is all I came in with. I never die, allways do mechanics and did decent dps. Now my dps is higher and I still don't die to shit. They are happy with me ;)
On grong, you use vendetta on grong and then you swap to adds
and you dont second pot
my trinkets are also insane. the motherlode trinket 425 with socket 
Also, using garrote inside MA ๐ค
Hey guys. When do i use fok correctly? I feel like 4+ target seems late given i have no dd and one eb
cuz your useage of it is like
